Road to Recovery!

I'm back with bringing happier news!

No, I'm still waiting for my NHS physio to start! Although the consultancy was very good and gave me a good plan of 6-8 weeks of physio and acupuncture to fix the problems, 3 weeks later I'm still yet to start any of these treatments which is frustrating after such a positive start.

It seems to actually be starting to heal itself, probably mostly caused by me getting myself a new memory foam mattress.

I'm back on the bike as recommended by the Physio consultant so I have had a few good turbo sessions, making me feel like I am actually moving again. It sounds stupid but I'm just happy to be doing something again.

But it's hard, hard work, was I really this unfit before? Did the bike seat really hurt my a*se this much last time?! ha ha!

But after a few Turbo session it does seem to be getting better, i am already starting to feel stronger and more efficient.

Hopefully when the physio appointment comes through it will fix the problems completely, its still not perfect at the moment. I think I'm happiest to have stopped taking painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication, before all this I never took anything like, it's never something that has sat well with me, I always think if you have pain you should treat the cause of it. I guess I had never been in this much pain before!

So it's the beginning of being a Triathlete again, I'm positive about getting my fitness back pretty soon and looking forward to a lesson in the Velodrome later this month, I will post separately about that.

As for racing, I'm not sure if I will be planning to race this season, I may spend it getting my fitness back... I will have to see I guess.

On to the long road back, and no matter how unfit I have become, I'm happy to be training again.
